Sources for article expansion

edit
  • Gibson, John C.L. (1977), Canaanite Myths and Legends, T. & T. Clark, ISBN 0-567-02351-6.

was listed in the "References" section but without any actual use within the text. Add it back once it's connected to some inline citations. — LlywelynII 01:54, 18 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

Further reading section

edit

Obviously the scholarly edition of the text goes there, but I'd personally avoid adding anything else there. Those sections are too difficult for Wiki to usefully curate and tend towards bloat. Use helpful sources to improve the article instead and then list them with the references. — LlywelynII 01:54, 18 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

Misplaced gloss

edit
To El and Anat, Baʿal's death is unusual and strikes them with deep sorrow. "They both exclaim, 'Baʿal is dead! What becomes of the people?/ Dagân's son! What of the multitudes?' Also, they need a substitute for Baʿal."{{sfnp|Oldenburg|1969|p=[http://books.google.com/books?id=hM8UAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA37 37–38]}}

was in the #Interpretation section, which is obviously misplaced. It should be worked into the narrative section if it seems useful. — LlywelynII 01:54, 18 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

What does this mean?

edit

What does this mean: "and far ahead of the current coastline"? It is currently in the intro. If I knew what it was supposed to mean I'd change it to something more common. I'm guessing 'inland' from the contexts. Is anyone familiar with this expression? J.Stornoway (talk) 09:57, 2 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
